Content

In keeping with the site’s title, we prefer dark or dreamlike fantasy, horror and science fiction, with a sense of atmosphere and attention to detail.

Skill and Style

The realistic and idealistic, the concrete and the abstract, the formal and the colloquial, and any mere opposite may be legitimate when skillfully used. As a consequence, we will judge style not by the supposed validity of its principal leanings but by the calibration and unity of its execution. We hope this point will be faithfully underscored by the work presently on display.

Form and Length

We accept prose or verse, fiction or nonfiction (to 10,000 words; work of greater length may be serialized), illustration, audio or video, as long as the work is reflective of our preferred content.

Copyright

For one year, FantasticHorror.com should be the only place online where your piece of work can be found.* On the anniversary of the release date of the issue in which your work appears, this obligation expires and you are free to republish your work elsewhere. We ask this courtesy for the sake of our own relevance; but you always retain executive control of your intellectual property.

* Excepting “scouted” content for which we seek permission to use.

Compensation

FANTASTIC HORROR DOES NOT PAY ITS CONTRIBUTORS. We hope that they will be compensated by the quality presentation of their work, by lively editorial attention to fact and exactness, and by the community of varied but like-minded artists.

Simultaneous Submissions

We prefer to avoid the waste of energy that can result when more than one publication is considering the same piece of work. Without some assurance that editorial attention will not be in vain, it would be unfair to draw the focus away from other submissions.
